LG ThinQ AuthenticationError: Already in use by 3rd-Party Registeration:APPL

[Koksieboy]

Following the reinstallation and configuration of the LG ThinQ pluggin, I've been receiving the following errors in the log and the LG accessories are not showing.

Any help to get the pluggin working again would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Is your LG account login type is logged by Apple ID ?
go to plugin setting page, use this feature to login

@nVuln I'm having a similar issue. I'm using HOOBS 4, and my LG ThinQ app, using Google authentication, shows four devices; refrigerator, washer, dryer and dishwasher.

I tried using my LG credentials (same email address), and I get logged in, but no devices found:

When I try to use the link above you posted 9/11/21 to get the refresh token, using the Google button, I'm getting a url like you pasted above starting w/ https://us.m.lgaccount.com .... access_token .... token_type .... access_token .... but no REFRESH_TOKEN. Trying that, as well as LG account using my Gmail credentials - both methods I get this:

@jbh8063 at this time, logged by 3rd maybe got some issue, please following this wiki to grant access Plugin Authorization Setting

in your case, you should login to old account (logged by Google account), then send an invite access to your new account (LG credentials)

I was about to post that it still wasn't working after linking the second LG account, but then I found the json included the token info from my last attempt, even though I had LG Account selected. I cleared the token info and it seems to have worked. I do see this error in the log:

4/12/2022, 1:47:14 PMLg Thinq BridgeLGThinQAdding new accessory: e577e2a6-791b-1d36-8618-acf108809245: Refrigerator (REFRIGERATOR 2REF11EII__M2)
4/12/2022, 1:47:15 PMLg Thinq BridgeERROR[Refrigerator@Fridge@Target Temperature] characteristic was supplied illegal value: number 0.6 exceeded minimum of 1

But it appears to have added the refrigerator as an accessory in Hoobs, but it did not get pulled into Homekit like the Washer, Dryer and Dishwasher did. Maybe that's not a big deal - I can't imagine setting up an automation on it

[nVuln]

@jbh8063 please turn on homebridge debug mode and see what happened, did you try enable thinq1 support in plugin setting ?

[jbh8063]

I'm not sure if I missed it the first time, or if somehow there was a delay, but I later found the refrigerator did, indeed, pull into HK. Now what to do with it now that it's there, lol. Thanks for your help, unless you want to dig into that error more; it doesn't appear to be a hard stop.
